I’m thrilled to announce my next collaboration with DJ DAMIANA on Saturday, 2/15/25, as we come together to set intentions for 2025 through the transformative power of dance.
Meet DJ Damiana: A Vessel of Sonic Alchemy�Prepare to be transported to ethereal realms by Damiana’s masterful music—a journey through space and time that stirs the soul and opens the heart. As a passionate DJ, he weaves immersive soundscapes that flow seamlessly from grounding rhythms to expansive, heart-opening melodies. His music invites you to surrender, reconnect with your body, and experience the liberating joy of movement.
Radiating Joy and Self-Expression�Damiana’s vibrant energy creates a safe and inclusive space for you to embody your most authentic self. With a rich background in ecstatic dance, contact improvisation, primal flow, psychedelic dance, and multi-instrumental performance, his sets are infused with dynamic depth and vitality.
A Global Journey of Sound and Spirit�Damiana brings inspiration from conscious communities worldwide, including Bali, Guatemala, Philadelphia, Florida, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Oregon, and California. Each performance is a rich tapestry of sound, infused with the wisdom and energy of these diverse landscapes. For this event, he channels a fusion of ancient traditions and modern vibrations, creating a sonic experience that resonates deeply with the magical St. Pete community.
A Set to Bridge Worlds�Prepare for a unique blend of tribal instrumentation, soul-healing mantras, earth-shaking bass, and psychedelic trances. Damiana’s set is designed to bridge the ancient and modern, the earthly and cosmic, and the mortal and eternal. This is more than music—it’s a transcendent journey of healing, expression, and unity.
Dance Workshop with Kat Harmon�We’re delighted to welcome back Kat Harmon, who will lead a special movement workshop from 6:45–7:10 PM. This optional session helps participants ease into the evening by moving through fears or anxieties about dancing in community, setting the stage for deeper connection and freedom of expression.
Glow Paint and Adornment�Doors open at 6:30 PM, offering time to adorn yourself with glow paint and prepare for the night. This is an opportunity to tap into your inner luminescence and express yourself through creative self-decoration. Body paint will be provided, and you’re welcome to bring additional items for adornment. Come dressed to express your wild, free, and unfiltered self!
Ceremonial Cacao�We’ll offer 1 oz. ceremonial cacao for purchase starting at 6:30 PM, creating a heart-opening ritual to prepare for the evening’s journey.
Intention Setting
Please bring an altar item (or multiple) for our collective intention-setting ceremony.This month, we introduce three altar spaces for a deeper and more immersive experience:
1. Feminine Altar: Honoring intuition, nurturing, beauty, and the cycles of life.
2. Masculine Altar: Celebrating strength, logic, action, and protective energy.
3. Unity Altar: Representing oneness, peace, and the beauty of diversity. This altar also honors our ancestors and the wisdom passed down through generations.
Feel free to bring items for one or all three altars.
